Asunto: Season 67

1-0 loss. Better side, but form really does matter on strikers. Pretty much written this season off now, making sure getting as much training to key trainees as possible.

Yes strikers form and injuries have really caused a lot of problems this year for me too.

In Division 3, Timisoara scored 314 goals in 14 games!!!

Yep, look at their strikers.

It's mad looking at the stats in that league group. The top 12 best marked players are all from Timisoara. Same with the most valuable. Their average 11 is ten times better than the second placed most valuable.

No idea how you make an operational profit of £2.2 million. I just can't make money even though I am 14-0-0 in ll.2 this season. I have lost 161k without making any transfers in or out

Being in the cup helps income a bit.

It's very much about the expenses. Mine look like this:
Players salary
190 095 £
Trainers salary
118 545 £
Club facilities
21 150 £
Junior academy
12 000 £
Total predicted: 4 340 160 £

And then finding the right balance to maximise your ticket sales/income. In my case the total predicted is 4 176 689 £. As you can see my real expenses are covered by my ticket sales. The rest (sponsors, fan club, rewards, academy sales, other players sales) is just profit. Without players sales, my prediction is £1.8mil from sponsors, £200k from fans. The academy already made a £600k income.

It's not as easy as when you play in Premier, I get it. Hence, I advise Division 2 managers to rather get rid of old players with high wages. Your top 4 wages are 31, 33, 37, 32. I don't really know what difference they make to your game but when you win 14 out of 14 you might think they could be easily replaced.

Timisoara spent huge money on trainees, put together a really good squad but struggled every season in the prem.

If everything clicked together, was a title winning squad at one point.

I hope they have a plan, otherwise those 3 strikers are wasted.

I don't think there is one, because if wdp played 3 at the back, he wouldn't win titles either.

Odd match today. 0-0 got a player injured and while injured and not off pitch (17 day injury) got red carded before he came off, at the 31st minute. Then won 2-1 with 10 men.

Won 4-2 after being 4 up, their 2nd goal was a worldie! Missed another penalty today too.

My predicted ticket sales this season are only 2253160, so I don't see what cutting a few players will do. Unless I can grow the club as a whole so that my weekly attendances are much higher, I feel like I am in a trap. I just won my 15th league game in a row and the ticket sales were only £141k from an attendance of 21293.

My attendance was low too. Then again, I played against a low ranked team. Still managed to go plus already (a mere £410). I have another league game at home on Wed and then a friendly. I should finish with a nice profit figure this week.
So far this season I've had two weeks with a negative balance.

My attendances have actually been worse this season, I don’t know why and fan mood is as high as it can be……
